Desktop World Title fight
Gadgetshop.com is a cool site that offers a variety of off the wall gizmos designed as much for entertainment as practicality. Cruising through the site I found a number of very tempting toys, which I will be posting on over the next few weeks.
First up comes a clever little alternate choice to a stress ball. It’s an interactive USB boxing figurine. The idea is simple, you work out your tensions by using mouse and keyboard to control a real world statue that sits beside the desktop.
The only reason I’m reluctant to purchase one is that I can see myself getting completely addicted to the thing.
From the gadgetshop.com site:
“The biggest hitting USB toy on record has just entered the ring - and he's an awesome sight. The USB Boxer is one of a fabulous new generation of computer games that are taking the action off the screen and on to your desktop in glorious 3D plastic. Now your interactive gameplay is about to get a good deal more physical.
Now, as you manipulate your keyboard, one can really see the punches land and feel the excitement build as you test both your skills and your rhythm. As each successive hit on the speedbag registers a score, fully interactive software keeps tabs on your performance and realistic boxing ring sounds add to the intensity of the atmosphere - making this a most satisfying way to get the day's office frustrations out of one's system.
The boxer puts you in the driving - or should that be punching - seat with an array of options to choose from, including the length of each 'round' as well as a whole set of game modes enabling you to take complete control or let the boxer loose to show you how it's meant to be done.
Then there's only three things left to do. Plug in. Power-up. Log-in. And let punchbag battle commence.”
Includes:
3 game modes: auto, manual and keystroke
Realistic arm movements
Bell and crowd sounds
Interactive software
Please Note
4 x AA batteries are required to operate the USB Boxer (batteries not included).
Specification
Dimensions: Height: 21.0cm Width: 13.5cm Depth: 13.5cm
